ABSTRACT:
A trap including an elongated base for mounting along the bottom of a wall at the juncture between the wall and floor. A pair of spaced-apart electrical conductors are mounted on the base, and an electrical voltage difference is provided between the conductors. The conductors may be carried by an elongated carrier secured to the base. The carrier may be a stiff strip, or it may be a tape having a pressure sensitive adhesive on one face and two foil strips as the conductors on the other face. The carrier may be gripping means for holding conventional wires, or the conductors, such as foil strips, may be applied directly to the base. The base may be formed with a well for catching dead insects, and the conductors may be in opposed relation above the bottom of the well. An end cap may be provided to finish off one end of the baseboard trap and furnish electric power to the trap. An elongated cover extends along the base and conceals the conductors, the cover being spaced from the floor to provide access for crawling insects to the base and conductors.
